607.44 pence per share plus a percentage premium to such amount, rounded up to
the nearest whole penny, is as follows:

-      if exercised on any Subscription Date between (and including) 31 October
       2009 and 31 July 2010, a premium of 1 per cent. (614 pence);

-      if exercised on any Subscription Date between (and including) 1 August  
       2012 and 31 July 2014, a premium of 15 per cent. (699 pence).           

Application has been made for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to the
Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that
